Five Apps To Help Capture Those CES Contacts

Pages

Helping iPhone users cope with data-entry chores is WorldCard Mobile, an iOS app that does a great job of turning cards into contacts. For $6.99, WorldCard Mobile recognizes business-card text from camera-scanned images and figures out which fields to plunk it into in the iOS Contacts database. If the contact is already present, options appear to discard the new data or merge it with the existing record. Card images can be stored and processed in batches. The app works with any iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch with an auto-focus camera running iOS version 4.3 or later.
